Derived termsSynonymsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films (also referred to as movies or motion pictures) are produced by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or visual effects. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating — or indoctrinating — citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue. Films are made up of a series of individual images called frames. When these images are shown rapidly in succession, a viewer has the illusion that motion is occurring. The viewer cannot see the flickering between frames due to an effect known as persistence of vision, whereby the eye retains a visual image for a fraction of a second after the source has been removed. Viewers perceive motion due to a psychological effect called beta movement. The origin of the name "film" comes from the fact that photographic film (also called film stock) has historically been the primary medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion picture, including picture, picture show, moving picture, photo-play and flick. A common name for film in the United States is movie, while in Europe the term cinema is preferred. Additional terms for the field in general include the big screen, the silver screen, the cinema and the movies. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How do i play a movie from my pc on a tv? Q. I am trying to watch a movie on my tv that is stored on my pc. I do not have a DVD burner but I do have a CD burner. The movie has already been converted to DiVX but is still too large to fit on a CD-R. I have an S-Video output on my PC and an S-Video input on my TV. While setting up the movie I can see my desktop on the TV so I know it's working. Once I start the movie I can see the movie on my PC but not on my TV, but I can still see my desktop elements on the TV. It is my guess that the video is playing back at over 450 lines of resolution which my PC can display with no problem but my TV can't. How do I drop the resolution of the video down to 450 lines to show on my TV? Asked by lemonzephyr7 - Tue Feb 21 23:03:59 2006 - - 1 Answers - 2 Comments A.

The movies dont need to be similar to Clerks, but that is an example of a dialogue movie. Asked by Daniel - Sat Jun 20 18:27:30 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. If you liked Clerks, try The Tao Of Steve. If you're in the UK, don't be put off by the DVD cover (which makes it look like a Cheesy Sex Comedy - it isn't!) I know you said it doesn't need to be similar to Clerks - but, if you liked that, I think you'll like this!
